Shorewood Packaging Introduces greenchoice Sustainable Packaging Solutions
greenchoice includes a comprehensive analysis of current packaging, with recommendations on package design—and the use of alternative materials—to meet sustainable packaging requirements. The greenchoice Green Toolbox helps customers evaluate and make choices in six key areas:
• Paper and paperboard – both virgin and recycled choices that are renewable, recoverable, recyclable and biodegradable when composted
• Inks and coatings – such as renewable vegetable oil-based inks and water based coatings
• Alternative materials – such as CD/DVD trays made from recyclable paperboard or plant/vegetable-based materials
• “Green” package and display design – right sizing, fewer pieces, sustainable materials
• A more conscientious supply chain – ways to minimize a company’s carbon footprint *
• Third-party programs that link International Paper’s network of environmental partners to “green” projects like community recycling efforts.
